Chapter 337: Anonymous Delivery — Solar System Apocalypse Youth Class
However, this ranking still stirred up huge controversy, mainly from Puppet's fans. They believed that although Puppet's results were not enough to rival the Three Gods, in a situation where no one had an S-Tournament Champion title, Puppet should at least be at the Five Emperors level. Especially since Romero was a loser to the Puppet God, why was he one of the Five Emperors? More importantly, why was Li Hao the last of the Twelve Transcendent?
At the bottom?
This controversy also caused dissatisfaction among Martians, especially regarding Romero. It was just a livestream match, what kind of result was that? Given Li Hao's situation, he didn't even deserve to be among the Twelve Transcendent; at most, he was a Supernova. The officials were overestimating him!
Li Hao defeating Chao Qinglong in the Mid-Season Tournament and defeating Fan Liweite in the exhibition match were only spread within a small circle; the outside world was not certain of their authenticity.
Fans on both sides were arguing wildly. In fact, there were quite a few other controversies regarding the Three Gods, Five Emperors, and Twelve Transcendent. Some people felt they should have been included, some felt their ranking was too low, or that the person ranked above them didn't deserve it, but none were as fierce as this one. As the first-place team of the Moon Mid-Season Tournament, Hailong Team was completely ignored.
Anlita and the others were also angered to death. Xilian was actually at the end of the Twelve Transcendent, and they themselves were barely even mentioned. Looking at those who stepped on their heads, where could they go to reason?
The competition was still some time away, but the debate over Puppet's ranking had turned the world upside down. Martians believed that the record must be from the S Tournament; Earthlings believed that since it was a ranking of strength, it should naturally only look at wins and losses. Puppet had been on a winning streak and had not tasted defeat this year, so he should be stronger than Romero. The results before the S Tournament should naturally take that year's EMP as a reference... Anyway, both sides were unreasonable, but the parties involved were very quiet.
For the contestants, the current ranking was just a mood; it had little significance. Everything had to be proven by the S Tournament.
Hong Guanni was quite happy on her side. She wouldn't be as fanatical as Puppet's fans. The previous fight was very flashy, but in reality, it could only represent ten percent of the level. As for that battle of A Youyou, she didn't even reveal her Flowing Heart Martial Arts. It could only be said that Su Yu was very capable, but it couldn't be said that he could steadily defeat A Youyou. This assessment was quite good, allowing Tianjing Mecha to gain a certain degree of attention without being overhyped. Adults knew that this was the best situation. Plus, with Long Dan's Supernova status, among the USE teams, although the ranking was relatively high, Tianjing Mecha still received attention across the Solar System.
The principal had to consider these things, as it related to the school's development and future enrollment. The most critical thing now was whether Su Yu could lead the team to achieve results. What she was worried about was not Su Yu, but the others. Could Long Dan, Zhou Naiyi, Cheng Konghai, Ma Long... and Zuo Xiaotang hold up?
The more one looked, the more terrifying it became. What a terrifying organization this was. Human geniuses had always emerged generation after generation, but the people from the Apocalypse Youth Class dominated the S Tournament. The previous sessions were the same; 70% of the top tier were led by the Apocalypse, and this year it was even more terrifying, reaching 100%.
This was a crazy attempt by humanity to find the secrets of the limits of human genes, including immortality, the limits of power, the commonality between human structure and the universe, natural selection or creationism, the inner universe, the dream world and the virtual world, etc. The most excellent genetic seeds, a special project that broke legal boundaries created by the power of the Alliance, covered geniuses in all fields of science and military. It launched an entire secret space experimental base to explore the limits of life and power. Looking at the photos of tests and training, Kuang Basta considered himself to have some composure and insight, but he still felt his scalp tingle. Could this really be allowed?
Currently, the Three Emperors, Five Emperors, and Twelve Transcendent who dominate the S Tournament... all come from the Apocalypse Youth Class!
It was an anonymous file bag delivered by a delivery robot.
——Solar System Apocalypse Youth Class.
There was more controversy about the eighth position, but overall it was still dominated by the Wolf King. In S10, the Wolf King's injuries had not fully healed, which was why he returned in defeat. At that time, it was also to preserve his strength for a comeback in the new session. Now he was in full condition, and having experienced dormancy, this would be the Wolf King's final session, and he would definitely give it his all.
However, since he had opened it, he took a look, but after reading only a few pages, the content inside left Kuang Basta dumbfounded.
The Three Emperors, Five Emperors, and Twelve Transcendent had been analyzed thoroughly by various streamers and analysts. The Five Emperors level had a chance to win the championship. After all, in the arduous journey of the S Tournament, anything was possible. Strength was only one aspect, and luck was also quite important. The strength of the Five Emperors only...
... needed an opportunity to have a very high chance of winning the championship, especially the USE's Chao Qinglong. He had been pinned with high hopes by the entire Earth since his debut, and this year he had no way out.
He felt that he was approaching a huge secret, attracting him like a black hole.
The Supernovas needed to seize this stage to show themselves; the future was theirs.
Top three strongest pilots: Maxis, Fan Liweite, and the Wolf King.
From the strange reactions of Li Xiangshan, A Youyou, Saibutan, and others, Kuang Basta felt that Puppet's status must be very, very terrifying; otherwise, it would be impossible to have such influence in the Ancient Martial Arts world under a gag order.
Wu Daren didn't know how Su Yu got it, but the process was definitely not simple.
Hong Guanni blushed and nodded. She was about to go into seclusion. The two waved goodbye, reluctant to part. These two days had been very sweet, and they had broken through quite a bit in terms of intimacy. The seventh brother seemed very experienced. It wasn't until Hong Guanni's figure disappeared for a good while that Su Yu left.
And what Kuang Basta cared about most was Puppet, which was Su Yu. Was he or was he not?
During the days when Puppet was away, Kuang Basta was also quite quiet. Cultivating the heart through Ancient Martial Arts, he continued his streamer life calmly. Life was much better than before, until he received the notification from EMP that he had been selected as a commentator for the S Tournament Earth District. This also made Kuang Basta excited for a while. After the Fire Girl exposed Puppet's true identity, Kuang Basta did not go to disturb him, but prepared for this S Tournament more meticulously.
The data looked real. What was the purpose, and what did the person who sent the data want to do? This was not something his level could speculate.
Basically, opening any media, it was all information about the Mecha World Tournament. Related industries also followed suit. In the current hot predictions, major livestreams, professionals, and even officials could not help but make guesses.
As for the Twelve Transcendent, the possibility of winning the championship was small, but there were still opportunities to make a name for themselves. At the same time, they were also strong obstacles for the Three Emperors and Five Emperors level. Once encountered, it was difficult to win without suffering heavy losses, so the strategic significance of the Twelve Transcendent within the alliance was very important.
There was data on many people inside, very detailed, very terrifying, very subversive. The backgrounds of some of them were shockingly large, but Kuang Basta's heart was trembling. Would that person be there?
Not from the perspective of the S Tournament, but from the perspective of the Apocalypse~
Due to the selection of Hong Guan and Long Dan, Tianjing also began to report on the two continuously. Those who originally didn't hold much hope for Tianjing Mecha also began to look forward to it. Winning the championship was not something they dared to think about, but the top eight was also a very good goal.
Su Yu smiled and waved his hand, "It's not dangerous, it just takes time. Tell Aunt not to worry."
If the data in his hand was the truth of the legend, Kuang Basta's hands were shaking.
"No, I don't want to!" Hong Guan decisively interrupted Wu Daren's unrealistic fantasy.
Fan Liweite, the S10 champion, used his Silver Dragon Spear to sweep across the world with no rivals. As the defending champion, it remained to be seen whether he could continue to demonstrate the dominance of a Heavenly King when facing powerful challenges.
Li Haoni could only think about it, but couldn't point it out; otherwise, it would be easy to create trouble out of nothing. Now she only regretted why she didn't let Su Yu and the others accumulate some experience in the first year. Even if they just followed along to take a look, it would be completely different.
She had been in the military for so many years and had seen many warriors collapse under heavy pressure. There were even quite a few who never recovered. Su Yu had not dared to show his face; would he be the same?
Even for Li Haoni, she didn't have much confidence in her heart. Except for Zhou Naiyi, the team members had no experience in the S Tournament. The thing called major tournament experience seemed elusive, but it was actually very important. It concerned the mentality and state when handling details at critical moments. Many people would have fluctuations in major tournaments; this was an unavoidable problem for humans.
The ability to withstand pressure was the key ability.
After becoming a Puppet commentator, he had searched through various means, wanting to know more, but the results were all fruitless. Just when he was about to give up, the impossible data appeared before his eyes.
The potential and growth of the Apocalypse were too terrifying.
"I do want to..."
In addition to popular contestants, there were also popular teams. The top three strongest teams currently...
... were: Galaxy S-Class Interstellar Academy, Eternal S-Grade Interstellar Academy, and Wolf God S-Class Interstellar Academy.
Maxis's S9 championship impression was too deep, like a War God descending to the world, crushing everything, almost brutally trampling on his opponents. If it weren't for his injury, everyone believed he would have won consecutive championships. And it was said that he was injured precisely because he was learning the way to use the strongest Golden Zone. Now that he had returned after a breakthrough, the terror of the War God's domination was about to descend once again.
Every streamer invited to the S Tournament needed to write a T-team of warriors and teams in their own minds. A large amount of player and team data needed to be understood, and they needed to give their own reasons for selection, especially the various intricate schools of the four major federations, as well as some unofficial histories. They had to have evidence and also have characteristics. This selection was also very important for Kuang Basta; it was another opportunity in his career.
Wu Daren smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Aunt."
The days of checking data were very boring, and the pressure was also very high, until a delivery broke his calm.
It could be seen that Wu Daren's trip was very happy. Regarding Su Yu, Wuzang was also quite troubled. She knew Wu Daren too well; even if she didn't let her, Wu Daren would find a way to do it, which would be more dangerous. She had been observing. Su Yu seemed very ordinary at first, but gradually she also found him a bit unfathomable. But one thing she was very sure of: he would not hurt Wu Daren. That was the root of her helping to cover for him.
Even including Su Yu, Su Yu had always been hiding in the network, playing freely, but had never faced so much attention. Under this state, the psychological burden would definitely increase. Could he still perform so calmly and composedly?
Kuang Basta didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was sent by a fan, and threw it aside. It wasn't until he was dizzy from looking at data that he opened it to take a look. The moment he opened it, he smiled.
The three major teams were almost no different, at most the order in the ranking. The controversy regarding the pilots was also not big. Of course, there were those who used the Wolf King to replace the Wolf King, and those who used Chao Qinglong to replace Romero, but basically, it was just individual cases.
Wu Daren, who had boarded the private spaceship, just sat down when Wuzang's Sky-Link rang, "Happy?"
Aunt was also very important. The damn insects had gone crazy recently, not giving any chance at all. They set up checkpoints heavily. Low-level Giant Insects couldn't get in at all. The control success rate of high-level Giant Insects was too low, and the time they could occasionally control was too short. It felt like the Giant Insects had made certain adjustments. Digging it out yourself really couldn't produce a finished product. This matter really couldn't be rushed.
Wu Daren, who turned off the Sky-Link, looked at Su Yu reluctantly, "Seventh brother, don't be too reluctant. If it's too much, forget it. Mine can be borrowed for Aunt to wear."
The entire mecha world had passed two very stable days, and Su Yu and Wu Daren had also spent two very happy days of vacation. Wu Daren was picked up. These two days, Wuzang had been driven to the point of exploding on the spot. She had pushed away everything she could. Later, some people from the old man's side had come with favors, and Wu Daren needed to go back. Su Yu could only reluctantly send Wu Daren to the space station. Before leaving, he was hinted at by Wu Daren: Where is her Ocean Heart? Where is the sincerity? What about the promised filial piety?
(The S Tournament is about to begin. After so much foreshadowing, I must make everyone feel satisfied. A Long and Da Fan are just appetizers; the main course is coming.)
A group of people who had always been competing with each other and seemed to be strangers were actually old "classmates"!
The cover of the document was marked "SSS-Top Secret," with the Solar System Alliance logo below; it was all very flashy, and the more exaggerated things look, the more there usually is to see.
Kuang Basta didn't dwell on it too much, because he knew himself; such a big matter had little to do with a commoner like him, and he didn't dare to make it public at all, as he didn't want to die, but a part of the data suddenly opened up new horizons for his racking brain.
Coupled with the fact that the S-Tournament Champions of the past eight sessions were all reuniting in their peak states—old kings reuniting, new kings coveting—in this new decade and new era, who would lead this era?
Coincidentally, regarding this legendary project, he had heard some fragments of it a long time ago, and everyone who managed to come out alive had become a legend in their respective fields.
With the massive rollout and promotion of EMP, for quite some time in the future, there would be all kinds of introductions regarding the S-Tournament, and the contestants mentioned below were also part of the publicity; at the same time, the uniqueness of this S-Tournament was being introduced throughout the Solar System, used for the introduction of K23 offensive and defensive weapons.
Pilots in this S-Tournament would completely display extraordinary power, especially those top powerhouses who would break through certain physical shackles; this was also the direction of new human genetic evolution, and it also meant that the battles this time would be unprecedentedly magnificent.
Wuzang still kept a straight face, "You really fear nothing in this world; hurry back, there's a pile of things waiting to be handled, and even your principal, thinking you're interested in other academies, is panicked to death."
"Long Dan, successor of the Wu Family, as the younger brother of the Single-Combat King, this S-Tournament is his first time competing, and he is also the core combat power of Tianjing Martial Arts, highly anticipated." Ma Long said with a smile, "Not bad, Long Dan, you've even made the headlines!"
